Aviation weather related accidents cause, by far, the highest level of fatalities. That's because weather flying, VFR or IFR, places the greatest demands on a pilot. More than any other risk factor in flight, changing weather frequently requires pilots to alter their plans—and weather especially requires proactive, rather than reactive, safety management.

Enjoy lifetime course access and updates

This course is mobile friendly and designed to go anywhere you need to study

Weather is unforgiving. It can kill you and the people you love. And, the sad ... truly tragic fact is that every weather-related accident could have been avoided ... every single one!

If you're like most pilots, weather decisions are not always easy.
Should I go? ... What if the weather changes? ... How will I know if the
weather changes? ... What are the risks? ... are common questions that
many pilots have difficulty answering.

Manage Weather Risks

This aviation weather course for pilots, even though it is titled Practical Risk Management For Weather, it is not about the weather itself.

What this course is about is managing the risks associated with weather and its constantly changing reality. It's about understanding your options ... and recognizing them quickly so you can make the right decisions, in a timely manner.

Using the Practical Risk Management CARE and PAVE checklists, you'll learn techniques for making specific weather decisions so you can plan and fly with confidence.

When you complete Practical Risk Management For Weather, you'll make weather decisions with greater confidence. Rather than having the weather act on you, you'll be ahead of the weather and what it means to your flying. As a result, you'll have more opportunity to fly ... with less stress ... and your flying will be smarter, safer and more fun!

... provide free, lifetime tech support. For as long as you own your course, you get this on all KING software and video products—Monday-Friday 8 A.M.-5 P.M. (PT). Contact Information

... make learning enjoyable. Humor is a major component that distinguishes KING materials—and makes the learning process more memorable.

... treat you with integrity. No loopholes, no surprises—we'll never abuse your trust. There's no fine print, no tricks. Never!

King Schools has trained 1 out of every 2 pilots!

Repackaged

The PAVE and IMSAFE checklists were central to this course. Those checklists appear frequently elsewhere and at no cost. While the course presented the checklists and some additional information well, I hoped for more new information.
